The showers and thunderstorms associated with the tropical wave have become better organized during the past several hours. Environmental conditions are favorable for further development, and the tropical wave is given a 60 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next couple of days.

As of 7 p.m., Hurricane Danielle was about 680 miles southeast of Bermuda and Tropical Storm Earl was about 1,620 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. Neither appeared likely to make landfall in the United States.
